========================= importlib_metadata NEWS ========================= 0.23 ==== * Added a compatibility shim to prevent failures on beta releases of Python before the signature changed to accept the "context" parameter on find_distributions. This workaround will have a limited lifespan, not to extend beyond release of Python 3.8 final. 0.22 ==== * Renamed ``package`` parameter to ``distribution_name`` as `recommended `_ in the following functions: ``distribution``, ``metadata``, ``version``, ``files``, and ``requires``. This backward-incompatible change is expected to have little impact as these functions are assumed to be primarily used with positional parameters. 0.21 ==== * ``importlib.metadata`` now exposes the ``DistributionFinder`` metaclass and references it in the docs for extending the search algorithm. * Add ``Distribution.at`` for constructing a Distribution object from a known metadata directory on the file system. Closes #80. * Distribution finders now receive a context object that supplies ``.path`` and ``.name`` properties. This change introduces a fundamental backward incompatibility for any projects implementing a ``find_distributions`` method on a ``MetaPathFinder``. This new layer of abstraction allows this context to be supplied directly or constructed on demand and opens the opportunity for a ``find_distributions`` method to solicit additional context from the caller. Closes #85. 0.20 ==== * Clarify in the docs that calls to ``.files`` could return ``None`` when the metadata is not present. Closes #69. * Return all requirements and not just the first for dist-info packages. Closes #67. 0.19 ==== * Restrain over-eager egg metadata resolution. * Add support for entry points with colons in the name. Closes #75. 0.18 ==== * Parse entry points case sensitively. Closes #68 * Add a version constraint on the backport configparser package. Closes #66 0.17 ==== * Fix a permission problem in the tests on Windows. 0.16 ==== * Don't crash if there exists an EGG-INFO directory on sys.path. 0.15 ==== * Fix documentation. 0.14 ==== * Removed ``local_distribution`` function from the API. **This backward-incompatible change removes this behavior summarily**. Projects should remove their reliance on this behavior. A replacement behavior is under review in the `pep517 project `_. Closes #42. 0.13 ==== * Update docstrings to match PEP 8. Closes #63. * Merged modules into one module. Closes #62. 0.12 ==== * Add support for eggs. !65; Closes #19. 0.11 ==== * Support generic zip files (not just wheels). Closes #59 * Support zip files with multiple distributions in them. Closes #60 * Fully expose the public API in ``importlib_metadata.__all__``. 0.10 ==== * The ``Distribution`` ABC is now officially part of the public API. Closes #37. * Fixed support for older single file egg-info formats. Closes #43. * Fixed a testing bug when ``$CWD`` has spaces in the path. Closes #50. * Add Python 3.8 to the ``tox`` testing matrix. 0.9 === * Fixed issue where entry points without an attribute would raise an Exception. Closes #40. * Removed unused ``name`` parameter from ``entry_points()``. Closes #44. * ``DistributionFinder`` classes must now be instantiated before being placed on ``sys.meta_path``. 0.8 === * This library can now discover/enumerate all installed packages. **This backward-incompatible change alters the protocol finders must implement to support distribution package discovery.** Closes #24. * The signature of ``find_distributions()`` on custom installer finders should now accept two parameters, ``name`` and ``path`` and these parameters must supply defaults. * The ``entry_points()`` method no longer accepts a package name but instead returns all entry points in a dictionary keyed by the ``EntryPoint.group``. The ``resolve`` method has been removed. Instead, call ``EntryPoint.load()``, which has the same semantics as ``pkg_resources`` and ``entrypoints``. **This is a backward incompatible change.** * Metadata is now always returned as Unicode text regardless of Python version. Closes #29. * This library can now discover metadata for a 'local' package (found in the current-working directory). Closes #27. * Added ``files()`` function for resolving files from a distribution. * Added a new ``requires()`` function, which returns the requirements for a package suitable for parsing by ``packaging.requirements.Requirement``. Closes #18. * The top-level ``read_text()`` function has been removed. Use ``PackagePath.read_text()`` on instances returned by the ``files()`` function. **This is a backward incompatible change.** * Release dates are now automatically injected into the changelog based on SCM tags. 0.7 === * Fixed issue where packages with dashes in their names would not be discovered. Closes #21. * Distribution lookup is now case-insensitive. Closes #20. * Wheel distributions can no longer be discovered by their module name. Like Path distributions, they must be indicated by their distribution package name. 0.6 === * Removed ``importlib_metadata.distribution`` function. Now the public interface is primarily the utility functions exposed in ``importlib_metadata.__all__``. Closes #14. * Added two new utility functions ``read_text`` and ``metadata``. 0.5 === * Updated README and removed details about Distribution class, now considered private. Closes #15. * Added test suite support for Python 3.4+. * Fixed SyntaxErrors on Python 3.4 and 3.5. !12 * Fixed errors on Windows joining Path elements. !15 0.4 === * Housekeeping. 0.3 === * Added usage documentation. Closes #8 * Add support for getting metadata from wheels on ``sys.path``. Closes #9 0.2 === * Added ``importlib_metadata.entry_points()``. Closes #1 * Added ``importlib_metadata.resolve()``. Closes #12 * Add support for Python 2.7. Closes #4 0.1 === * Initial release. ..
